will be actually quite chilly. we don't have any frost advisories in effect, but we'll see lows of 36 at lakeport, 39 at santa rosa, 40 at napa. so it'll be pretty chilly during the overnight hours. highs tomorrow is 61. san francisco mid 60s. right around the bay shoreline 64 6566 degrees up in the north bay, nearly 70 at santa rosa tomorrow. close to 70 over at antioch. fairfield will probably hit 70 tomorrow. down at san jose, a high of 68, likely tomorrow. now, let's skip ahead to wednesday and take a look at that warm up coming our way. we'll see inland highs in the low 80s on wednesday. upper 70s around the bay. thursday even higher mid 80s mid to upper 80s inland up to about 80 8182 around the bay shoreline. we are likely to see a couple of locations hit 90 degrees on friday. it's going to be that warm inland and we'll see low to mid 80s around the bay shoreline. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. warming continues, begins tomorrow, continues tuesday and then starts to really crank into high gear as we get later into
